Reliable Wall Tent Features, Options, and Fabrics
**This text is an excerpt from the Reliable Tipi Catalog**
Fabric Choice is equally as important as tent size. It is the fabric that will provide the protection from the elements, maitain a warm dry interior, stand up to rugged handling and be of good value for your money. This is asking a lot from most fabrics and is the reason we offer several different constructions in our tents and tipis. Each fabric we use provides a little different combination of important features and benefits for your consideration.
14.9 oz. Natural Canvas
14.9oz. per square yard, single filled material is a popular tent material and for good reason. It is tough, water repellent and warm. Because it has 20% more cotton woven in it than the 12oz. material, it has superior insulating qualities. The additional cotton also provides a tighter, more water repellent and more durable fabric. Unless you are very concerned about overall weight, the 14.9oz. per square yard fabric is our recommendation. An argument could be made that this fabric will actually cost you less due to its probable longer life and the reduced likelihood of its needing repairs.
Treated Canvas:
10.10oz. Marine Treated Army Duck
A premium cotton fabric more tightly woven than the single filled variety, creating excellent strength and durability in a lighter weight base fabric. Shrinkage is greatly reduced with this fabric. We add the Sunforger treatment to create a truly top quality, dry finish, water and mildew retardent tent fabric.
